No, you would aim slightly above, because when you throw the spear and it travels through the air it will fall slightly downwards by the time it reaches the fish.

Larger animals use proportionately less energy than smaller animals; that is, it takes less energy per kg to power an elephant t
marin [14]

Answer:

Part a)

Q = 952 cal/day

Part b)

P = 46 Watt

Part c)

\Delta P = 54 W

Explanation:

As we know that 5000 kg African elephant requires 70,000 Cal for basic needs per day

so we will have

m = 5000 kg

Q = 70,000 Cal

so we have energy required per kg

E = \frac{70,000}{5000}

E = 14 cal/kg

Part a)

now we know that per kg the energy required will be same

so we have mass of the human is 68 kg

so energy required per day is given as

Q = 68 \times 14

Q = 952 cal/day

Part b)

Resting power is the rate of energy in Joule required per sec

so it is given as

P = \frac{952 \times 4186}{24\times 3600}

P = 46 Watt

Part c)

resting power given in the book is

P' = 100 W

so this is less than the power given

\Delta P = 100 - 46

\Delta P = 54 W

What's the mass show the work?
Alja [10]
You do this one just like the other one that I just solved for you.

For this one ...

The density of the object is 2.5 gm/cm³.
We know that every cm³ of it we have contains 2.5 gm of mass.
We have to find out how many cm³ we have.

The question tells us:  We have  2.0 cm³.

Each cm³ of space that the object occupies contains 2.5 gm of mass.

So the 2.0 cm³ that we have contains (2 x 2.5 gm) = 5 gms.
That's the mass of our object.

The wavelength of 10^15-Hz light is:
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

D.300nm

Explanation:

Wavelength = Speed of light / Frequency of light.....

where the speed of light is...(3 × 10^8)

Wavelength = (3 × 10^8)/(1 × 10^15)

Wavelength = 3 × 10^-7

;Wavelength = 300 × 10^-9

Hence its....300 nm

A force of 14 lb is required to hold a spring stretched 4 in. beyond its natural length. How much work W is done in stretching i
enyata [817]

Answer:

W = 19.8 J

Explanation:

14 lb force is required to stretch the spring by 4 inch distance

So we have

F = 14 lbf

F = 6.35 \times 9.8 N

F = 62.3 N

stretch in the spring is given as

x = 4 in = 0.1016 m

now we will have

F = kx

62.3 = k(0.1016)

k = 613.125 N/m

Now we need to find the work to stretch it by x = 10 in = 0.254 m

so we have

W = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

W = \frac{1}{2}(613.125)(0.254)^2

W = 19.8 J
